Mission to Mars

Finished my first fall quilt!  Turned out really nice, I'm so excited for it to find a new home.  This quilt would be perfect for a little boys room.  Come to think about it, if it doesn't find a nice new home maybe I'll just redecorate my little guys room!

Summer is drawing to an end...

The days are getting shorter, and the sun a little less intense.  In short the ATL is cooling off a bit so I think it's time to get back into quilting.  Over the summer I completed one major project for a baby a friend of mine is having.  It was a postage stamp quilt!  It turned out awesome but in my haste to have it ready for the baby shower I neglected to take pictures.  Thankfully, someone else did and here it is:

The border is princesses and castles and goes all the way around the quilt.  The thing was I used Minky on the back.  It looked awesome and will be so soft and snugly for the baby, but I had to wash all the sweat out of it when I was done!  Working with that quilt in June in Atlanta was not a good idea.  Good thing the baby won't come until fall because that quilt is going to keep her WARM!  After creating that I did a couple projects around the house, not much of anything and dreamed of the temperature dropping so I could stand to quilt again.  Well, it finally has and man, have I an awesome quilt in the works!

Just posted three quilts on Etsy.  It's my first try selling one of my creations but I'm really excited to share my art with the world, and yes, I do consider sewing an art.  You can check out my store there at http://www.etsy.com/shop/KatieKwilts with all the pictures and sales information.  Hope someone else likes these quilts as much as I do!
